FINDRS – Urban Mobility Intelligence Platform for Cycling Infrastructure

FINDRS provides an end-to-end data intelligence platform that transforms real-world mobility data into actionable insights for urban planners and decision makers. The solution combines unobtrusive on-bike sensing, mobile technology, cloud infrastructure, and advanced analytics to reveal how cycling infrastructure actually performs in everyday use. At the core of the system is a scalable data processing platform capable of analysing large volumes of movement and sensor data to identify patterns related to mobility, safety, and infrastructure quality. While FINDRS offers its own data collection device, CORK by FINDRS, the platform is data-agnostic and can also process existing datasets supplied by cities, operators, or third-party providers. This allows authorities to extract additional value from data they already collect without requiring new hardware deployment. CORK by FINDRS is a compact device integrated into the bicycle handlebar that automatically collects high-resolution motion and route data during normal riding. Data is transmitted via a mobile application to a secure cloud environment where it is anonymised, aggregated, and analysed. When combined with other available data sources, the platform provides a comprehensive picture of network performance. FINDRS converts these data streams into planning-ready intelligence, enabling cities to understand mobility, safety, and infrastructure condition at a level of detail not available from traditional surveys or traffic counts. Key insight areas include: • Mobility flow and delays — identification of bottlenecks, congestion points, and inefficient signal timing • Road surface quality mapping — detection of rough pavement, potholes, cracks, and missing ramps • Safety and incident detection — identification of accident-prone locations, including unreported minor incidents • Travel behaviour and patterns — understanding how cyclists interact with infrastructure over time • Before-and-after evaluation — objective measurement of the impact of infrastructure improvements By aggregating data from multiple sources and riders, FINDRS creates a dynamic picture of network performance across corridors or entire cities. This enables targeted maintenance planning, prioritisation of investments, and evidence-based policy decisions. The solution supports both pilot projects and large-scale deployments. Cities can analyse specific corridors or problem areas, integrate historical datasets, or implement continuous monitoring to support long-term mobility planning. FINDRS complements existing transport data systems by providing behaviour-based measurements of infrastructure performance. The platform helps authorities move from reactive maintenance and anecdotal feedback to proactive, data-driven management of cycling networks. Target users include municipalities, transport authorities, infrastructure planners, and organisations working to improve active mobility, safety, and sustainable urban transport systems.
